Flooding in Residential Areas Near Ngurah Rai Airport Persists, Affecting Residents
Residential areas on Jalan Griya Mandala, Tuban Village, Kuta District, Badung, are still flooded as of Thursday (26/2/2026). High rainfall over the past few days has caused the water to remain stagnant in the low-lying area, disrupting the activities of dozens of residents.
“The area on Jalan Mandala is located north of the airport and is a low-lying area. According to residents, the water used to flow into the drainage system towards the airport, but due to the road elevation and drainage owned by Angkasa Pura, the water now flows into the residential area,” said the Head of the Badung Housing and Settlement Office (Perkim), Anak Agung Ngurah Bayu Kumara Putra.
The Badung Regency Government has deployed a Rapid Response Team (TRC) to carry out emergency response in the affected areas. The joint team is working to reduce the water level by pumping it out so that residents can resume their activities.
“Currently, we are carrying out drainage by pumping out the water using pumps from the Perkim and PUPR offices. For a long-term solution, we have designed the construction of drainage in the residential area this year, which is currently in the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) stage,” continued Bayu Kumara.
A similar situation has also been reported on Jalan Taman Sari, located south of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. This low-lying area also faces similar problems with water drainage to the airport’s drainage system.
“Information from residents there is the same; the water used to flow into the airport’s drainage system, but now it can no longer be used because the location is also low-lying. For Taman Sari, it has only been included in the 2027 Musrenbang proposal, but the TRC team together with PUPR are still helping with the water pumping process,” he added.
Meanwhile, flooding also continues on Jalan Segara Madu, Kelan, Tuban Village. Officers from the Environmental and Sanitation Office (DLHK) have deployed several suction trucks to pump out the water, which has reached knee-height, in an effort to quickly reduce the flooding.
